Hello again all:
There is something nice about having many 2.5 and 3-day weekends in October, wouldn't you agree? :)
It was nice to meet or become reacquainted with so many of you during last Friday's Parent-Teacher conferences. If you were not able to come and would still like a meeting with me, please feel free to e-mail me at kfink@discoveryschool.edu.hn.
Reminders:
Wednesday, October 26 is a half-day due to a teacher in-service day. Please arrange to have your child picked up no later than 11:45 am on that day. We will run according to the AM schedule.
Friday, October 28 is also a half-day due to our UN Day festivities. Please feel free to join your student for the UN Day activities. More information is posted on the Discovery School website.
Although it's another short week, we will be having lots of fun and learning in room #4!
6th grade will continue its study of Ancient America by beginning an activity packet about the Maya. This will be the first of three packets they will complete over the next quarter, and each packet is designed to be done together, in class. Please do not encourage your student to work ahead in the packet. The exception to this is pages labeled "Extra Extra!" These pages are designed as extra credit; we will not be doing them in class together. In an effort to conserve paper, each student will be given only one packet: they will not be given a second copy if they lose the first. This packet will be due Friday, November 4.

7th grade will continue working with the geography of Europe. They will spend one day reading the textbook and two days working in the computer lab on the Europe country project.
--
8th grade will continue looking at the different city-states of Ancient Greece by finishing the activity they started last week.
--
9th grade will continue looking at the Enlightenment with a 5 W's of the Enlightenment activity and salon discussions.

Have a great week!
